We number 33 on the list of countries that produces electricity. That means we produce 90.8 billion kWh (2007 est.) every year. Yet we have power shortages…

And this is our mix of power sources.

So my confusion is where is the damn power disappearing too? We produce a huge damn amount. Being number 33 on that list is no bloody small feat. Iran is number 20 and it can export the excess electricity it has.

Iran’s ratio of Power generated to population is 5 times higher than Pakistan.

Iran generates 192 billion kWh, with a population of 74 million. That’s about 2595 kWh per person per year.

Pakistan generate 90.8 billion kWh with apopulation of 160 million. That’s only 537 kWh per person per year.

In order to catch up to Iran’s level, we would need to generate 415 billion kWh per year… that’s around 5 times more electricity than we generate right now.
